Default Hey guys: Need brake light help

My display light on the dash lit up yesterday, to tell me there is a issue with one of my light's.

When I checked everything out to see what is not working, all the bulbs are,except for the passenger brake light. It doesn't get any brighter when you push the brake pedal down, unlike the drivers side does. The bulb seems to be working and is lit up, but doesn't get any brighter when braking???

Does anyone know what this might be?

My car is a 08 ES350.
Thanks,
J

It sounds like the bulb in question has two filaments - one for the taillight function and the other for the brake light function - and that the filament for the brake light function is broken. Both filaments in two-filament bulbs rarely fail at the same time.
